Ukrainian member of the Rada and the Committee for National Security Vadym Ivchenko suggests Ukraine has suffered at least 500k dead and 500k wounded so far

The official Ukrainian death toll stands at 46,000.

Edit: fixed link.

The labour right detest Miliband, he's getting purged in the next couple of reshuffles.

The flag-shagging and lawfare will continue - they have nothing else and will only bequeath it to the fascists once they finally run out of steam.

Starmer is probably a creature of the security services, but they have no further vision than he does.

They showed him the CIA heart attack gun they used on Bernie.

Langley:

Guess we should actually do some work during the downtime.

The curse of the socialist is to remember things, which is why Biden is the acme of the liberal president.

Because any incident of mass violence is likely to include sexual violence

This is a flatly true statement, certainly so in the context of October 7 where the commandos were followed out of the fence by an assortment of civilians with varied motivations once the Israelis failed to respond to the raid.

What's key is that the charge of a deliberate and systematic program of sexual violence on the part of the Gazan resistance is an absurd and racially charged slander.

Bringing in the New Year with a bang:

UPA Corporal Roman Shukhevych Museum destroyed by Shahed Drone on Bandera's Birthday

Now you might ask: who was UPA Corporal Roman Shukhevych, this man who was awarded the Hero of Ukraine in 2007, who has a museum, statues, stadia and streets named after him in Ukraine and Canada?

He collaborated with the Nazis from February 1941 to December 1942 as commanding officer of the Nachtigall Battalion in early 1941,[2] and as a Hauptmann of the German Schutzmannschaft 201 auxiliary police battalion in late 1941 and 1942.[3] Shukhevych was one of the perpetrators of the Galicia-Volhynia massacres of tens of thousands of Polish civilians.[3] It is unclear to what extent Shuchevych was responsible for the massacres of Poles in Volhynia, but he certainly condoned them after some time, and also directed the massacres of Poles in Eastern Galicia.[4][5]

Remember, if you think Naziism is alive and well in modern day Ukraine you're a Putinist stooge.

Russia has lost 87% of troops it had prior to start of Ukraine war, according to US intelligence assessment

a source familiar with a declassified US intelligence assessment provided to Congress told CNN ... Of the 360,000 troops that entered Ukraine, including contract and conscript personnel, Russia has lost 315,000 on the battlefield

A completely separate reality.

Edit: also, weren't most credible estimates of initial Russian troop strength on the order of ~200,000? Subtle way of playing down Ukraine's initial failures in the south.

I knew he was a fucking liberal.

I'm already waking up in the morning and trying to figure out how to get through the day without hyperfixating on the fact that there is an ongoing genocide and I'm just living the same as I did two months ago, I don't need any further radicalising.

I just saw a dead child in Gaza with their head blown open on twitter without a graphic content warning.

I understand what the poster was trying to do but who are you helping at that point?
